The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland placed it in Category III. According to R. H. Charles the text is "much more closely with Codex Sinaiticus than with any other uncial". The text seems to be inaccurately copied.

Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 4th century.{{r|Aland}}{{Cite web |url=http://intf.uni-muenster.de/vmr/NTVMR/ListeHandschriften.php?ObjID=20169 |title=Liste Handschriften |publisher=Institute for New Testament Textual Research |accessdate=21 April 2011 |location=Münster}}
